Hello, I just got my Dell workstation the other day at work and I had them put in a Radeon dual head card. After hours of playing around trying to get it to display on both heads I hit the search engines for dual head XFree86 and radeon in which I came accrost the Xfree86 posts saying the Dell, OE, cards won't work. Is that true?
I can have them order a new radeon card, non OE, if it will work. I running Redhat 7.3 with the XF 4.0.2 X server, the stock one. If that doesn't work is there a good dual head card that is supported? I'm replacing my Sun Ultra10 with dual display with this Linux box as it is the cheaper way to go for the company and I was all for it until I ran into this gotcha, now I'm upset because I have to use an old RAGE II PCI card and set the second head to it in order the get an equivilent of what I had with my Ultra10. The second display is distorted a bit and the X server crashes and the system locks up hard after some time of use on that degraded display. The log shows the radeon card is trying to reset but I believe its the RAGE II card and or the mickey mouse XFConfig-4 file I had to mess with inorder to get the X server to work with both cards. Please let me know what I need to do. THANX Jeff P.
